: The first sentence could be improved, but I don't think your suggestion is an improvement. You sort of try to define "first-class function" and "closing over the lexical scope", but do so in a incorrect and non-universal way. E.g. "pass around like object" probably only makes sense to people coming from an OO background. A closure doesn't "remember the values", it gives you access to the variables itself. You also need to be explicit about which scope you're talking, in this case the lexical scope, not the dynamic scope. This again might be "obvious" for people coming from a particular language, but isn't universal. Your definition simply leaves out the second sentence from the current definition altogether. I think a concrete example, as in [[First-class function#Closures]] would be more instructive. —''[[User:Ruud Koot|Ruud]]'' 12:43, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
